Detailed description of Foster Park Golf Course

With the generous donations given by the Foster Family and the hard work of citizens, Fort Wayne opened it's first public golf course in 1928. During the late 1930's the original 9 hole course was expanded to 18.

The course is fairly flat. There are some large trees which line the fairways, but there are no water hazards on the course. Shot accuracy is still important as numerous sand bunkers incorporated into the course's design. The greens are a mixture of sizes.

Par for the course is 71. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,434 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,873 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 15, a par-5 that plays to 510 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 9, a par-3 that plays to 141 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 1, a 406-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 12, a 173 yard par-3.
